What have you done to keep things fun?

[swannyson7]

I like to come up with as many DIY projects as I can and I regularly frag my corals to spread the wealth amongst local reefers. Photography is another aspect of the hobby that has really made the hobby more enjoyable. Looking back at old pictures, you can really see how much everything has grown and it gives you a strong sense of accomplishment.

+1 on getting kids involved (grandkids in my case). My four year old grandson helps with the tank whenever he is visiting. Not only are you spending time doing something together and building a relationship that will keep them on your side during the terrible teen years but you have the opportunity to teach them life science and respect for the animal world. Kids are like a sponge when it comes to learning and the younger the better.

I've always wanted to try growing rainbow monti on a large flat tile and then carving my name into it . Or shaping my initials in epoxy and growing star polyps on them like Areefcreation did lol.

Very true, my wife enjoys it probably more than I do. Whats the deal with women and Pulsing Xenia..?

I have had the help of my son for over a year, when we go into the LFS he knows more about whats there than the employee's (he just turned 3) and frankly he loves the tank so much it keeps me interested simply keeping it pretty for him.
